ie the best of the crops that must be
sown each year. It naay be seen

pounds per ACM, after which a bushel
ot oats per acre can be drilled in.
Sorghum is also to be recommended,
and bule grass is excellent, especially

likely to take a rest during a hot, dry
summer. At such times the green

As to the proportion of urine to the
manure, Snyder estimates that a well-
fed horse will produce about fifty
peunds a moisture a day. Of this,
one-quarter, or twelve and a half
rounds, will be urine. In a stable,
the horse will void about six tone of
manure per yenr, according to the
sante authority,
A milcla cow on -en average will
produce from 60 to 70 pounds of man-
ure per day, estimating both solid
excrement and liquid manure. Of this,
from 20 to 30 pouutle will be liquid
manure. The daily droppings of a
well-fed cow of average size are about
80 pounds, including the absorbents.
The best way to save manure is to
apply it to the land as fast as enough
accumulates to pay for the time re-
quired to spread it. Bedding should
be used in the stalls to absorb the
liquids, which are the most valuable
parts of the manure. By applying this
manure as fast as it accucumlatee the
danger of flies breeding in It will be
reduced and much of the ingredteuts

(-Tuaregs of .‘

"In northern Africa there lies a
truceless country, inhahlted by a
Deople, the masked Tuaregs, fascinat-
ing for the mystery and exclusiveness
with which they have ourroanded their
life. These people, natives and rulers
of the middle desert, are the allies of
no one, but wage n furtive guerilla
'warfare, with all who invade the
labospitable Sahara sands of their
domain. They are the buccaueers of
the trackless sand, forever at war with
all civilization and its restraints," says
an artiele issued by tile National Geo-
graphic Society at Washington, which
describes the people always willing to
fight for the untiutenance of their
power to levy tribute upon the ancient
transsaharan caravan routes.
"Masked Tuaregs are I3erber nomads,
a white desert people, whose country
Is probably the most inaccessible on
earth. Even before itignptian civiliza-
tion began to leave coherent records
of its history the Tuaregs, or Bermers,
.were long established along northern
Africa. The great Arab invasion of
the eleventh century displaced them
from their posseselons upon the sea-
coast and drove them into the savage
area of the interior aesort, where, with
their hands raised agatnst all who
came into their pathless country, they
'have maintained themselves through
the intervening centuries despite lack
of water, sand storms and lack of
forming land, requisitioning by force
of arms from the Arabs and Egyptians
to the north and east, and from the
blaeks of the Soudan in the south,
such necessities and luxuries as their
cheerless portion of Mother Earth can-
not aupply them. •

protecting the throat and lungs from
the cutting blasts of fine desert sand,
and also probably as an element en-
hancing the mystery of their life, for
they seldom or never remove these
masks, whether roving over the desert
or visiting in the cities on the coast.
Due to these cloths they are called
melted Tuaregs, while the Arabs call

"Some centres of trade, Tuareg
towns, are situated in the middle
desert. These are Wargla, Timbuktu,'
Ghat, Ghadames, Murzuk and insalah.
However, the Tuareg has Intle care
for trade and lticlustry. He is a fear-
less, enduring, hard -fighting adven-
turer along the merchandise trails
that crop the desert. Two important
trails leave Tripoli, on the coast, and

cargoes of skins, gold, every and

merchandise to the value of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, Wben passing
through the Tuareg country the lead-
ers of such caravans hay° had to pay
a tribute to the chieftains by the way

upon the tribute they are able to
exact.

The mother of the present Queen
of Holland married King William
when. the King was pretty well on in
Years; it was his second matrimoaiel
venture. He was Bo pleo.see with it
that one day he purchased a tea set
of costly porcelain as a gift for his
queen, Ile felt that it was quite an
extravagance, and threatened to dis-
charge any servant who was careleas
enouga to break a part of the set.
One day, says Novelleu-Schatz, a
man who has beeu in the service of
the Royal house for many years had
the misfortune te break one of the
precious cups. He was heartbroken,
Tearfully he went to Queen Emma
and told her his store. The sympath-
etic Queen took the breken pieces and
eat them together, saying, "I think
we can fix that. Just paste it to-
gether with cement. The edges are
smooth and won't show much. Leave
the rest to me. I'll do what I can to
ave you."
When the Royal family sat down
to tea the next time, the injured cup
was at Queen Emmen: place. The
queen, pretending to be very thirsty,
'hank all the tea at once; and then,
as if struck witli a sudden idea, she
turned quickly in her chatr toward the
King, and her arm swept the cut to
the tloor. As it crashed into a thou-

eression of deepest regret, and said
timidly: "There, your 'Majesty, see
what an awkward servant I am. Now,
the only Wing you can do is to disraise
me from your service."
But William was in a happy mood;
seeing how grieved his wife appear-
ed, he made light of the loss and con-
ceited her affectionatelY, while the old
servant stood trembling by, thanking
his goad fortune for a mistress whose
tact and kindness had saved him his

TENDER 'CLEAT.
And How to Have It From the
Cheaper Cuts.
It would. seem that the last word
had beeu said on cheaper cuts of
meat. But the increase in the high
cost of living makes the meat prob-
lem still as tough (no pun) as ever.
What are much maligned and equal-
ly much praised cuts called "cheap-
er?" To know this we must know
the architecture of the animal in
question, First, the most tender
pieces are the less exposed parts of
the animal. Whatever portions are
subjected to muscular exercise (thus
the loin) are tougher because the
muscles have been used more. This
does not mean that there is not as
much nourishment. in tough muscles
as in tender ones. The cheaper cuts
have tougher fibres, and the whole
problein is to prepare and soften the
fibers and thus put them on a Par
with more tender parts. The muscles
of the abdomen are also tender, but
give a very coarse meat.
The structure cat the muscle fiber
must be studied in order to apply the
best methods of cooking. Each fiber
Is like a thin section of orauge, being
surrounded with a firm tissue and
containing juice within. If we cut the
fiber across the juice will escape, If
we heat the fiber in a high tempera-
ture we will harden it still more and
prevent the escape of juices. It we
cut it and soak it in water the juices
again will escape. nut if we pour
scalding water or liquid on the fiber
it will have much the same effect as
heating it rapidly to a high point.
Now, the ideal in handling all
cheaper • cuts is first to harden the
fiber either by pouring on boiling
water or by heating it to a higi. de-
gree in order to avoid the escape of
the juices, and second, to cook it slow-
ly so that the fiber will eventually be
very soft, the juices dissolved and
the flavor as much as possible retain-
ed. None of these meats should be
covered at first with cold liquid or
oobked slowly before the outside fiber
Is seared.

Laundry Counsel,
A bag made of ordinary -white mos-
quito netting will be found a great
help in drytng small articles such as
collars and doilies. Tie the bag With
a piece of waite tape and pin On the
line, This is better for the purpose
than a pillow ease, as it allows the
wind to pass through more readily.
When linen pieces or small articles
are spread on the grass to whiten,
much trouble may be prevented by
spreading a strip ot cheesecloth over
them and fastening this to the ground
with wire hairpins. This, while it does
not prevent bleaching, keeps oft in-
sects and prevents the articles from
being blown away if there is wind.
Add a teaspoonful of glycerine and a
half teaspoonful of soda to the starch
In which suramer dresses are to be
dipped. The glycerine gives a pretty
gloss and the soda prevents the starch
.from souring if the garments are not
ironed as soon as brought from the
line.
When laundering pongee, do not let
it dry and then sprinkle it or it will
spot. Iron it while it is damp all over
if you wish it to look nice.
To wasli white silk gloves, waists,
men's shirts and other white silk ar-
ticles so that they will not turn yel-
low, use ammoniated water -a table-
spoonful of ammonia in two quarts of
water is sufficient. Use no soap, and
dry in a shady place whether outdoors
or in the house. White silk will yel-
low if exposed to the sunlight while
wet. Iron while slightly damp and the
articles will be soft and white.

MYSTERY OF THE MOLE.
He Lives in the Dark, Yet Yearns
for the Midday Sun.
THE SPARROW
A Philosopher On Its Cu-
rious Doxnestio Habits.
There is a .great mys-s.ery about the
wools. They live in the dark under-
ground, but yet they are sun Worship-
pers. Juet at the hour of noon, when
the sun is at its highest point in the
sky, tho mole often comes to the sur-
face. It is a habit of the race, a kind
of religious obeervance, one might
thi nk.:
Seldom does a mole willingly make
its appearance in the upper world at
any other timo of the day, but at that
moment they come of their own ac-
cord. This fact, which has been ob-
sereed again and again, has never
been explained by naturalists.
But, remembering the common belief
that a mole is blind, you may ask:
"How can it see the sun?" The myth
of the blindness of moles has been
brushed away. Some species perhaps
cannot see, but most of them can.
Their eyes •are very small and bidden
in the fine hair, but they serve as
organs of vision.
Still, they can have very little use
for them underground. Any leakings
of daylight that may penetrate there
must be extremely faint, and if their
eyes were meant to enable them to see
with so little illumination they ought
te be large and free from obstruction,
whereas they aro minute and thatched
with hair- But such eyes may be par-
ticularly well suited for an occasional
look at the blinding sun.

Sometime
you a state
meat that the vocal abilities of the
-
sparrow could only be enjoyed if one
turned philosopher, aud having for
eome time held rather unkindly feel-
ings toward "passer domesticus"-not
for the "passer," but refusal to, also
its &Ore to add became of ite untidy
habits, to the domestic trials of
housekeepers -justice compels an ad-
mission, that if the. sparrow would
drop its "pugnacious" tricks, one
might begin to ehange one's attitude
towards it somewhat,
This year while occupying every
spare moment "slicking the pricks" as
a raemleer of the sock brigade, it was
Possible to "observe nature" at the
same time, and as sparrows, liktr the
Poor, are always with tee they came
In for a considerable share of atten-
tion.
While only the results of one after-
noon will be referred to, others
equally fruitful in results could be
given. Ca this occasion a parent had
three restless, persistent youngsters
to supply, and it meant much labor to,
In any way, satisfy the appetites of
the family. I watched. with interest
the parent chase and catch two cab-
bage moths, kill these, and feed the
sections-latludeng even the shredded
wings -to the young. Then, there was
an extra noley time, as thia parent
had evidently secured a cicada, or
something of that nature, judging by
the sounds made by the victim, and
the efforts of the parent to kill thee
for- the ecasumption of its hungry
young, almost made the knitting stop,
as they were so intensely interesting.
The young remained, strangely quiet,
something they had not done before,
as they had been so active in even
chasing the parent for fear they might
Miss a scrap of food before this, The
sparrow banged, and pinched, and just
when It looked like a finished job,
something frightened the birds, the
young scurried up into the nearby
tree and waited, while the parent with
its prey flew out of the garden on to
the road some little distance away
Where a view was not available, al-
though the sounds indicated that the
contest was still on. Later the par-
ent came back and forth feeding first
one and then another of its flock, so
judging from the stopping of the vic-
tim's cries, and the rapid return of
the sparrow with food, it must have
been a successful killing. I had read
just before this, and scoffed the state-
ment, that in several places it had
been observed that sparrows had. re-
formed and returned to their iftsect-
preying-a habit very largely neglect-
ed when becoming city residents -
but after the observations of last
year and this, I am inclined to accept
the statement as correct, and in jus-
tice think more kindly in the futon
of "passer doro.esticus," though these
do undoubtedly need to reform in oth-
ei lines before any housekeeper can
. honestly welcome them.
There has been time for observing
nature you will agree when I say that
pair number 98 will be on the needles
to -day, though, lately,. to help get
some shipments out, buttonholes by
the dozen, caused the knitting to be
set aside somewhat. You may use the
facta relative to the sparrow as they
are "authentic" and eurely the spar-
row has had so much abuse that if
anything can be said in its favor it
should in justice be amid.
